Hence those who have reached this point are called in the Christian system the "elect", the "saved" or the "safe", and in the Buddhist scheme "those who have entered on the stream".

For those who have reached this point have made themselves absolutely certain of reaching a further point also--that of Adeptship, at which they pass into a type of evolution which is definitely Superhuman.
The man who has become an Adept has fulfilled the divine Will so far as this chain of worlds is concerned.

He has reached, even already at the midmost point of the aeon of evolution, the stage prescribed for man's attainment at the end of it.

Therefore he is at liberty to spend the remainder of that time either in helping his fellow-men or in even more splendid work in connection with other and higher evolutions.

He who has not yet been initiated is still in danger of being left behind by our present wave of evolution, and dropping into the next one--the "aeonian condemnation" of which the Christ spoke, which has been mistranslated "eternal damnation".
